Hello Matthew!

This are the required steps to get a running colibri example (all 
commands for Ubuntu or similar, you have to adapt them to your OS):

1) Install git on your system (we don't know your OS, but google will 
tell you how...)
     sudo apt-get install git

2) Clone Thomas Perls great qml-examples by executing the following on 
your command line (this will create a new folder callled 
pyside-qml-examples, colibri is already included in there (see folder 
"colibri")):
     git clone 
git://gitorious.org/pyside-qml-examples/pyside-qml-examples.git

3) Change the current directory to this new directory:
     cd pyside-qml-examples

4) Run your first colibri example:
     python CarAnalogy.py

To get info about git, this is the wrong place:)! Google will help you 
more and there are plenty of good git tutorials out there.
But you are on the right track: It's a versioning system which basically 
means, that it allows you to keep track of different versions of your 
software. If you push your git project to github or other platforms, 
then it also acts as a backup and you can then share your code from 
there with others (just like Thomas Perl did this with his 
qml-examples). And finally, it allows collaboration of more than one 
developer by supporting branching, merging and other functionality.
To sum up: git (or hg or svn or others....) make our world a better 
place and I think it's worth having a look at it for every developer, 
you won't regret it!

Cheers
Aaron
